Thanks to all reviewers!
Rated: K/K+
Summary: Peter has never actually seen his friends' personalities or anything else about them. All he saw was power. (Heh, that's fun to type: saw was)
Peter Pettigrew: Part Two: Power
It had been several weeks since the school year had started, and reputations had been made. Peter was glad that he had Sirius, Remus and James as his friends, or his reputation would have been awful. He was happy as he was, but he knew that while Sirius, Remus and James might consider him their friend, he had no friends. He was a suckup, and used people. Peter wasn't very smart, but he was smart enough to know that he would be a reject, an outcast, if he didn't have the right friends.
If you aren't the right person, or if you don't have the right friends, you're no one.
That was a saying he'd come to memorise, using it when picking out friends. He'd met several people who were nice, but they were the wrong people. He needed the right ones.
On that fateful day, several weeks ago, on the Hogwarts express, he had been teased, and sat alone in a compartment, watching people come by, look in, and hurry away after seeing him there. But then he had met Sirius, Remus and James, and he knew that they were the right people. The people he had to befriend. The people he had to use.
All of them were popular, Sirius was classified as 'unbelievably sexy', Remus had the knowlege to do more or less whatever he wanted, and James was a mix between both, not as hot as Sirius, not as smart as Remus, but still popular. Peter was no one, until he met them, until he used them. They were powerful, and now he was too.
Sorry that was a bit short, but I'm in a hurry... Oh well, hopefully the next one will be better. Review!
